A writer on the subject of the diet of
centensrians thinks that "twelve ounces
of solid food and sixteen ounces Of liquid
appear to be the maximum reQuireme n is
of age" The solids ought, he thinks, 10
be made up OF one-third animal food,
chiefly flesh. and two-thirds vegei able
nourisbment. He dislikes fruit and ii h,
and says that salt and sugar should only
be used sparingly. He also deprecates
the too copious use OF milk as well as OF
drugs, and alter adding that industry OF
some kind should be practiced he gravely
points out the valua BILE medicinal proper
ties OF port wine. The latter Is certainly
more suited to advanced life than ia al
most any other form OF stimulant.

II Cost Him 81 81

From tho Bhend VistG tGa.) Patriot.
Miss LISA Stevens has a fiourishiug
school OF thirty pupils at Putnam. The
other day as Capt. Singleton, whose
chronological chart gives ur banity the
greatest number OF points. stopped at
Putnam he invited the young ladies' to
take ride, not dreaming that they
would leave the school and accept it.
Five OF the young ladies', the teacher
among the number, got aboard and the
engineer steamed of. This was pretty
predicament for the conductor, but he
was into it. His second thought was to
ring the engineer down at sDipe's and let
the young ladies get off, but the fireman
was ''up to snuff" and tied the bell cord
to the brake. and with all his frantic
jerking ii had not the desired effect in
stopping the engine. The consequence
was that Capt. Singleton carried the
young ladies to Anderson and return at
a cost TO himself of 81 %. Hencerorth
the conductor will be more careful how
he invites young ladies to ride.

is q curious fact that on the very day

Lamar, he was celebrating the twenty
seventh anniversary OF the publication
OF a very remarkable document, the or
dinance of secession, which was signed

Correcting the yaluatton,

Aberdeen, OAK, Dec. 26-Consider-
able. dissatisfaction has been expressed Of
late by citizens OF Aberdeen who evi.
IDENTIFY do not understand the object and
the effect OF the increased valuation
plsced upon city property at the last
hshessment. In speaking OF the matter
to-day County Treasurer II. s. Williams
|said:
Personal property assessed last year OF
$4,000 is under the new valuation placed
ct $22.500. The rate under the old
valuation was q mills; under the new
valuation it is but ii mills. In other
words, the owner pays no more under
the new than under the old system,
provided the same amount 10 raised.
This increase in valuation has for one of
it's objects the placing OF q fair valuation
upon property in Aberdeen. Hereto
fore is has been too low, and ss COM
pared with other towns in the territory,
notably Huron, an unfavorable showing
was shus made. The new assessment is
supposed to correct the evil.

Aamar,s CONFIRMATION.

Washington, Dec, 20 lit wonld be
humilieting indeed to republicans all
over the country who have been urging
npon the senate the propriety of refus-
ing to confirm Secretary Lamar to learn
that the supposed opposition to the Sec
Rotary in the enate wss more apparent
than real, and yet such a Etory is IN cir
cniat.on in Washington. 1t is told here
that MIR. Edmunds, who, as head OF the
Judiciary committee is supposed to lead
the Dieter hostility alleged to exist tow
ard Lamar, is really very kindly dis
posed toward him. and will see to it that
he Is recommended by the committee
and confirmed by the senate. The story
goes in to say that New England peo-
pie are very desiroos of q decision from
the supreme court of the
United States in the telephone
cases, and that all New Eng.
land congressman and senators have
been asked to allow that to be promul-
gated before o new member is put on
the bench. For this reason it is said
MIR. Edmnuds had determined to hold
up Lamar's confirmation until after the
holida, o, being assured that the court
would make its opinion known soon
after Jan. lst. It is not With any insen-
ton of influencing the court, which is
understood to have settled ite opinion
on this subject, that the nomination is
to bs withheld, but to prevent the In
PRODUCTION Of o new member. Whether
there be anything in this story, it should
be remembered that the republicans una.
Jority OF the senate representing the re-
publican party oar scarcely afford to
refuse to confirm Lamar. Ia the first
place the northern newspaper estimate
OF Lamar's character is almost entirely
wrong and, old as he is, he will prove
an addition to the court In learning and
vigor that must inevitably stir up men
like Bradley, Miller, Biaschford aud one
or two others, who, it must be confessed,
would not compare any. too favorably
with him. Neither are Lamar's. seces.
si0n sentiments to-day what is claimed
Tor him, and strangely, too, by such a
learned politician as J.B Foraker OF
Ohio. However this may be, it is con-
ceded by senators that the appointment
is one whose responsibility must rest
with the president entirely, and having
confirmed without question men like
Lawtons Longstreet, Mostly and others /,
q refusal by the senateto confirms Lamar
would be construed by the country as An
effort 80 carry wal issues TO an I'M
rantable extent 80 embarrass the present
administration. It 10 said that Ed
nnnas will not urge the age issue
against Lamar.

Washington special: The postmaster

and shat in addition to the original
print written corrections of typographi-

KANSAS sunsrIne.

Wichita, Dec. 26-The frst reports OF
the suffering in the western and north
westernaoounties of Kansas from the
coal famine and the lack of the necessi-
ties Of Life seem to have been greatly ex-
aggerated, and from all that can be
learned at this place there is no general
distress. Whatever deaths have oc-.
CURED from exposure were the results
of individuals having been caught on the
prairies by the late blizzard Mr.. Gribble,
OF Ashland, Clark county, is in the city.
He reported thaf there WAS enn-
siderable distress among the poorer
class OF formers in his neighborheod, and
his visit to this place was for the purpose
OF soliciting funds for their relief. a
public meeting was held Thursday eve
ming, when it was decided to organize
9 committee OF relief. This committee
telegrephed to tho county seats OF those
counties where the deetitution was re-.
ported TO exist, and this morning the
answers are coming in. The reply from
Ashland, Clark county. says:
There are some people in this county
in need OF funds, but there is no wide
spread restitution or suffering"
The answe from Leoti, Wichita
county, next to the Colorado line, says:
1.-THE alleged coal famine ia this coun-
~ is entirely upfounded. There is no
moro restitution here than in every
community. and non that can mot be
provided for locally. There has been
no suffering reported from any point in
the fer west counties OF Kansas result
ing from the blizzard"
Replies from the southwest counties
are TO the same effect, and they, all Say
that no general destitution prevails. The
exaggerated accounts OF whole families
perishing from the cold and famine seem
to have arisen from iaoiatsd cases OF the
freezing to death OF belated travellers o,
fatalities who were moving ACROSS the
plains in their "prairie sohooners" and
we're oveFtaken by the iate snow storm.
In the light Of these faote 80 Ia probable
shat the relief commlttee organized
Thursday evening will diseyRaniEe, there
being no distress TO relieve.
